The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

When Lin Daiyu was fully dressed and went to Jiamu's place, Jiamu was talking to Jia Wan. When Jia Wan saw Lin Daiyu, she ran over happily, "Aunt Lin, are you here? The old lady said that she will take us to the lotus flower today." There is incense in the temple!"

Lin Daiyu blushed and sat next to Jia Mu. Jia Mu took her hand and said with a smile: "I dreamed of your mother a while ago and said that she missed the lotus pond in the Lotus Temple, so I took her with you. You go and have a look together. Qiaoer is also tired these days. I discussed it with the nuns and took her out to let her out. Let’s go after you have breakfast. We will have a vegetarian meal at the Lotus Temple at noon. Their family’s vegetarian meal is special. Delicious, especially the vegetarian ribs!"

Seeing this, Jia Wan probably knew what she was doing. She thought that the old lady was fast enough. Before that, Mrs. Wang had decided on Jia Baoyu's aunt, and then the old lady started to pick a husband for Sister Lin!Moreover, this old lady is quite open-minded, and even asked people to meet in advance. I don't know if she is so open-minded when it's her turn.But thinking about it, I wouldn't think so, I wouldn't be so self-indulgent, in the old lady's heart, I can't compare to Daiyu Baoyu, and I'm just a little bit better than Sanchun.The reason why the old lady attaches so much importance to herself is probably related to the dream entrusted by black and white impermanence!Alas, Xiao He is really the winner, and Xiao He is the loser!

Mrs. Wang and the others also knew that Mother Jia was going to bring Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan to the Lotus Temple. Mrs. Wang planned to go with her, but the Duke of Qi had a new grandson, and Mrs. Wang was going to congratulate her.Mother Jia didn't want Mrs. Wang to go with her at first, so she said, "You don't need to follow, as long as Brother Rong and Brother Qiang follow." That's all for Mrs. Wang.

Xue Baochai and the others were a little envious when they knew that Mother Jia was going to bring Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan to the Lotus Temple to offer incense. After all, the chances of them, the ladies of the boudoir, being able to go out were very few.But this time, Mother Jia didn't even say that she wanted to take them with her, she was only envious.Among them, Xue Baochai didn't care about this. She followed her father since she was a child and went to many places, while Jia Yingchun didn't care about everything.Only Jia Tanchun, with a heart as if roasting on the fire, was both envious and jealous. She could more or less guess the intention of Jia's mother taking Sister Lin out at this time. Well, the old ancestor took Sister Lin out for a walk and socialize!The old ancestor was too eccentric, he and his second elder sister were the granddaughters of her direct relatives, couldn't they be compared to a second granddaughter?

Xue Baochai looked at the flames burning in Jia Tanchun's eyes, lowered his head to hide the disdain in his eyes.

Mother Jia, Lin Daiyu, and Jia Wan went to the Lotus Temple in the west of the capital in a carriage. During this period, Lin Daiyu wore a long veiled hat, covering her whole body from head to toe. , look at the hair!

Fortunately, after entering the backyard of the Lotus Temple, Mother Jia asked Lin Daiyu to take off the veiled hat, "There is no one behind here, so take it off! You can't see anything while wearing this, what's the point!"

Lin Daiyu smiled, this scene happened to be watched by a group of people coming from the opposite corridor, Mrs. Yang stared straight at her son who was supporting her, secretly happy in her heart, there was finally someone who could let him see Eye-catching girl!Really Amitabha!

Mrs. Yang pretended to cough, and saw that her son finally woke up, but his face was as red as a monkey's butt. Mrs. Yang glared at him, and said in a low voice, "Restrain me, don't let people see you as a joke. !"

Yang Zhenxuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze, just at that moment, he heard the sound of his own heartbeat, and the whole world became quiet. For the first time, he believed that the lines about love at first sight described in the poem were true, "We have never met before With a smile, Xu Pingsheng was born at the first meeting'.The moment I saw her, I realized that all these years of waiting were worth it!That's her!

"Isn't this Mrs. Jia? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here! No wonder the magpies are screaming on the branches this morning, so it should be here!" Mrs. Yang saw her son back to normal Yes, he said with a smile.

After hearing this, Mother Jia turned around and smiled all over her face, "So it's Mrs. Yang, what a coincidence!"

The two laughed meaningfully, and Lin Daiyu was already standing behind Jiamu with a blushing face.Looking at the situation, Zijuan didn't understand anything, and happily and excitedly looked at the group of people walking towards him.

Jia Wan, relying on her young age, stood upright beside Jia's mother and looked at the young man. Although he was not as handsome as Jia Baoyu in appearance, he was a bit more masculine and his complexion was darker. The eyes are firm and sharp.His eyes have been sizing up Lin Daiyu without a trace, and the surprise and admiration in his eyes are very obvious.It's just that although the eyes are bold, they are very upright, without any hint of obscenity, making people feel comfortable looking at them!

This person is not bad!Jia Wan thought in her heart that the external conditions are not bad, but she doesn't know what her family background is.But seeing how the wife of this family is familiar with Jia Mu, the family background should be pretty good too!

Over there, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Yang had finished exchanging pleasantries. Mrs. Yang looked at Lin Daiyu who was standing behind Mrs. Jia, and asked with a smile, "I wonder who this girl is?"

Mother Jia smiled and said, "This is my granddaughter, a girl from the Lin family in Gusu!"

Mrs. Yang knew about the girl from the Lin family, and she had already inquired about this girl's life in the dark since Jia's mother had made people aware of it. , and it is possible to carry a relative from the Jia family, but the contacts accumulated by the Lin family for generations are still there, and Lin Ruhai's reputation in the Qingliu is still there. This Miss Lin herself is also talented and beautiful. As for the dowry, the Yang family does not lack this. .The most important thing is that this Miss Lin obviously caught the eyes of her very discerning and critical son.Although the Jia family was a bit of a headache, after all, it was only my grandfather's family. Generally speaking, she was quite satisfied with this marriage.

"So it's Lin Ruhai, the daughter of Mrs. Lin's family. No wonder she smells like a book! This is my son Yang Zhenxuan, Zhenxuan, come and meet Mrs. Jia!" Madam Yang said with a smile on her face.

Yang Zhenxuan stepped forward and greeted Jia Mu. Jia Mu saw that he was imposing and handsome. Although he was only two years older than Baoyu, he looked like a man from two worlds. One was still a flower raised in the greenhouse. For the first time, Jiamu wondered if her parenting method was wrong.Just thinking about it, the situation of the two of them is different, how can they be compared together!Yang Zhenxuan is good, but Baoyu may not lose to him in the future!

"Yu'er, come and see Mrs. Yang." Daiyu's matter is more important now, Jiamu thought so, and said to Lin Daiyu with a smile.

Lin Daiyu's face was slightly red, and she came out from behind Jia Mu shyly and timidly. She didn't dare to raise her head, and said softly, "I have met Mrs. Yang, Mr. Yang." The last three words were spoken in a low voice, almost inaudible. .

"Meeting is fate, why don't you sit in the pavilion in front! The best scenery of the Lotus Temple is here, and this pond full of lotus is rare!" Madam Yang said with a smile.

Mother Jia readily accepted this suggestion, so two groups of people walked towards the gazebo in the middle of the lotus pond.Jia Wan raised her head and looked at the pavilion. Its shape is simple and simple, and the name is also very simple, it is called the Pavilion of Appreciating Lotus.Jia Wan nodded silently, what a good name!Reasonable, the scene blends, not bad!

Seeing Jia Wan standing there in a daze, Lin Daiyu gently tugged on Jia Wan's sleeve. Jia Wan motioned her to look up at the name of the pavilion. Lin Daiyu looked up and laughed too.Jia Wan found out that Yang Zhenxuan's eyes were astonishingly bright, and she was proud of herself. No matter how talented you are, in the end, you won't bow down to my Aunt Lin's peerless beauty!

Lin Daiyu also noticed the scorching gaze, lowered her head shyly, and sat down beside Jia Mu, wondering why this person is so self-respecting!The people watching are so ashamed!But he couldn't muster up the courage to raise his head.

Over there, Mother Jia and Mrs. Yang were chatting about homework, while Yang Zhenxuan's eyes were darting over Lin Daiyu all the time. Although the eyes were a bit explicit, they were not abrupt.And Lin Daiyu sat with her head down all the time, not speaking.

Jia Wan thought about it, and felt that it was not good to say nothing all the time.Anyway, since I am young, it should be fine.She tentatively said, "Hello, Uncle!"

Yang Zhenxuan was still immersed in Miss Lin's smile just now, when suddenly a pretty little girl stood in front of her, she opened her mouth to call Uncle, he couldn't react for a while, "What's the matter, little girl?"

Jia Wan smiled, pointed to the outside of the pavilion and said, "Uncle, can you pick a lotus for me? I want the bud that hasn't bloomed yet."

The three elder sisters in Yang Zhenxuan's family were already married, and they each gave him four nephews, but he didn't have a single niece. Now that he saw this fair-skinned little girl like a porcelain doll, her words were much gentler, not to mention that she was still In front of the girl he likes, "Is that one?" He said and pointed in a certain direction with his finger.

Jia Wan's move was only to break the dull atmosphere between the two, of course she didn't care which one it was, so she nodded.

Yang Zhenxuan estimated the distance between the two, and the lotus flower was not far away, it was just beside the pond, but it would take some time if he took a detour, and his youthful nature meant to show off in front of the person he liked. After a few minutes, I didn't plan to go over to pick the flowers.Seeing a half piece of dead wood floating in the middle, he could use it as a foothold, so he raised the corner of his robe and tucked it into his belt. With a leap, he was already in mid-air, with his toes pointing, he landed on the dead wood, and borrowed his strength to go up again. Leaping forward, with both feet a little on the railing, taking the opportunity of turning around, reached out to pick off the budding lotus, and jumped back in the same way.

During this period, Lin Daiyu was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe, until Yang Zhenxuan stood in front of her with the lotus in his hand and smiled, Lin Daiyu seemed to wake up from a start, glanced at him, and then lowered her head.

Yang Zhenxuan was overjoyed, if he hadn't been worried that there were others beside him, he would have gone over a long time ago.That one glance just now made everyone's heart itch.After returning home, I must ask my mother to send someone to come to the door to propose marriage. No matter what, let's make a decision first!

Jia Wan smiled and walked up to Yang Zhenxuan, stretched out her right hand, "Uncle, Hua'er!"

With a smile on Yang Zhenxuan's face, he bent down and handed the flowers over. Jia Wan whispered in his ear, "It's good for you, treat my Aunt Lin well!" After speaking, she immediately approached Lin Daiyu with a smile, holding the flowers, " Aunt Lin, look, lotus, let's find a vase and raise it when we go back!"

Yang Zhenxuan looked at Lin Daiyu and whispered a few words, his face was full of tenderness, and his smile deepened.

Seeing this, Jia's mother smiled and said to Mrs. Yang: "That is my great-granddaughter, nicknamed Qiao'er, and the children are not sensible."

Mrs. Yang smiled and shook her head, "Miss Qiao is very cute, with beautiful features, and she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up." Knowing the son is like the mother, the son is deliberately showing off in front of other girls!

After hearing this, Jia's mother smiled slightly.

The two families returned home after finishing their lunch at the Lotus Temple. The Yang family sent Jiamu to Ningrong Street before returning. Mrs. Yang was sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain, saw her son still looking in the direction of Ningrong Street, and lowered the curtain After laughing.The maid next to her asked, "What's madam laughing at?"

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "I laughed at someone, I finally got the hang of it."

As soon as Yang Zhenxuan came back to his senses, he heard his mother say such a sentence, and he was a little embarrassed at once. He just recalled the fairy posture of Miss Lin, and his heart was so excited that he waited on his mother more and more attentively. He only hoped that his mother would let go , Come to propose marriage early.

Not long after Jia Mu and others came back, Mrs. Wang brought Li Wan Baochai and Sanchun over. Mrs. Wang already knew the purpose of Jia Mu's trip. In her opinion, as long as she didn't marry Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu, she could marry Lin Daiyu as she wished. Everyone is good, no matter how good you are married, it is better than Yuan Chun.Therefore, she was in a good mood, and when she saw Lin Daiyu, she shook her head and said: "The eldest girl is getting older, and it's time to make some new clothes to wear. The former lady gave some Yunguang brocade, and there are two goose-yellow horses. It's just right for the eldest girl. Find it later and send it to Miss Lin." The last sentence was said to Li Wan.

Li Wan answered yes, and then fell silent.

Xue Baochai also guessed something from Mrs. Wang's reaction, and she was also happy for Sister Lin in her heart. It is really a happy thing to not be an enemy of Sister Lin. I think some of the best Shu brocades in the batch are very suitable for sister Lin, if you don't mind, I will ask Yinger to send them to you later."

Lin Daiyu smiled slightly, "Thank you, Second Aunt, and thank you, Sister Bao!"

Seeing this, Jia Wan smiled and jumped to Xue Baochai, "Aunt Xue, I want it too."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, the sisters have them. I will send them to the sisters later."

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "You just keep it for yourself, why not give it to them! They have it!"

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "It's just a few bolts of material, not worth anything."

Over there, Sanchun also thanked Xue Baochai.After Jia Tanchun thanked Xue Baochai, he pretended to be unintentional and sat beside Lin Daiyu, "Sister Lin, what interesting things happened at the Lotus Temple today, tell us about it!"

Lin Daiyu smiled, "The most famous thing in the Lotus Temple is the pond full of lotus flowers. Although it is not as good as the lotus in the garden, it is better than the natural wildness, which has a special taste. In addition, the vegetarian food in the temple is also good. The secret recipe here is priceless!"

Jia Tanchun was obviously dissatisfied with these few words, and was about to say something when he saw Jia's mother looking towards him unintentionally, and immediately stopped talking.It's just that I am very anxious, if what my aunt said is true, the old lady is so biased, she skips the second sister and the second brother, and tells sister Lin about the marriage first, and I don't know which family the old lady told sister Lin about. ?It's just that Jia Tanchun thought about it, this is also a good thing, I am the same age as Sister Lin, if Sister Lin is engaged, does it mean that it is my turn too!

A few days later, the Rongguo Mansion received an imperial decree to bestow marriage.In order to show the importance it attaches to this marriage, General Weiyuan's Mansion personally asked the Holy Majesty to marry him. The Holy Majesty also knew about Yang Zhenxuan. He was young and talented, and in addition to General Weiyuan's outstanding military exploits, it was a pity that the Holy Majesty did not have a princess of the right age. He planned to marry the second daughter of King Qi to the Yang family.Now that the Yang family mentioned this marriage, the Holy Majesty was very satisfied when he found out about it. The daughter of Lin Ruhai, the former inspector of salt, although Lin Ruhai is the emperor's person, she is still acquainted. Decent, but also to make the Supreme Emperor happy.

Therefore, the Holy Majesty personally issued a decree to grant the marriage, and the wedding date will be set after Lin's family and Ji.When the Supreme Emperor found out, he was very happy, and issued another decree, saying that Lin Ruhai had made great contributions to the country, and he had only one daughter under his knees. When his daughter got married, he ordered the House of Internal Affairs to prepare a dowry according to the system of princesses.

Only then did the Jia family know that Mother Jia had quietly found a marriage for Lin Daiyu.Although this Yang family is not a duke's family, it is a second-rank general's mansion, and even Young Master Yang is a guerrilla general from the fifth rank.You know, the second master is only a member of the Ministry of Industry of the fifth rank, Wailang!

Xue Baochai and Li Wan Sanchun knew about this matter, no matter what they thought in their hearts, on the surface they were all smiling and happy to congratulate Lin Daiyu.

"Congratulations, sister Lin, congratulations, sister Lin!"

"Sister Lin is overjoyed!"

Surrounded by her sisters, Lin Daiyu blushed with shame. Zijuan and Xueyan brought tea with smiles on their faces, "Girls, please drink tea!"

Jia Tanchun sat down and took a sip of tea, "It's hard for Sister Lin to hide it from us. She didn't tell us such a good thing in advance. When I heard the news, I thought I had heard it wrong!"

Lin Daiyu blushed and said, "Marriage is of course the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How I know this is all up to the ancestors."

Xue Baochai nodded with a smile, "Sister Lin is right. My daughter's family should be quiet and quiet, and these things are not our concern. But this is Sister Lin's happy event. Sister Lin, you should be the host." !"

Although Lin Daiyu was shy, Madam Su was right, she would also be the director of the family in the future, blindly being shy would not work. "Sister Bao said that the sisters just pick a date."

The door curtain was lifted suddenly, Yuanyang came in with a smile, "The girls are here, Miss Shi is here, the old lady is asking the girls to go!"

"Sister Yun? It's so early, why did she come here? Didn't the Shi family not let her go when they picked her up a few times ago? Could it be that they heard the good news from Sister Lin and came to congratulate her?" Jia Tanchun said with a smile.

"Miss Shi is also overjoyed! I heard that Miss Shi is also engaged, and the other party is the eldest son of Wei Hou's family!" Yuanyang said with a smile.

Sanchun exchanged glances, oh, so they came to show off!

Shi Xiangyun came to Jia's house this time to show off. Her relatives, uncles and aunts, were also careful. The eldest son of the Hou family, she will also be a serious Mrs. Hou in the future. Sister Lin is not as good as her in everything.Therefore, after she got engaged, she told her aunt that she wanted to stay at Jia's house for a few days, and her aunt agreed to show off in front of Jia's mother.

Who knew that Ningrong Street would be under martial law even after entering Ningrong Street. It is said that the palace delivered an edict, and when they went to inquire after the crowd dispersed, it turned out that the Holy Majesty had bestowed a marriage on the daughter of the Lin family who lived in Jia's house.The Yang family is not as prominent as the Wei family, but the Holy Majesty personally decreed the marriage, what a great honor it is!In contrast, Shi Xiangyun's engagement to the Wei family seemed much more ordinary.

Shi Xiangyun was upset, but he had no choice but to force a smile on his face and talk to Jia Mu.

"What a rare visitor! I just thought that I would never see Sister Yun again in this life! I never thought that Sister Yun would come today!" Jia Tanchun said with a smile.

Shi Xiangyun was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, but he still stood up with a smile, and blessed Lin Daiyu, "Congratulations to Sister Lin, Sister Lin is very happy." Seeing this, Jia Tanchun thought that the historian invited her Nanny is still useful, if I said so before, Shi Xiangyun would not be so kind to let it go!

"Sister is also very happy!" Lin Daiyu helped Shi Xiangyun up and said with a smile.Perhaps it is because of sympathy for each other, Lin Daiyu always has a little kindness towards Shi Xiangyun, even after Shi Xiangyun said that he is like an actor.It's just that she didn't understand why sister Yun was always harboring malice towards her.

Shi Xiangyun lowered his head and smiled without saying a word. Then he saw Xue Baochai and greeted him with a smile, "Sister Bao!"

"Sister Yun!" Xue Baochai smiled dignifiedly.Shi Xiangyun then sat down beside Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai is very proud of her dependence on Shi Xiangyun, what's more, Shi Xiangyun is in contact with two marquis mansions alone, and making friends with her will be beneficial to his future socializing outside.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing glared at Jia Yingchun, and then said with a smile: "Old lady, my niece and Miss Shi are younger than Yingchun, this marriage is already settled, you see, should Yingchun also take care of it? "

Jia Yingchun's face turned red, Li Wan hurriedly stood up, and took the sisters to hide behind.

The author has something to say: Mother Jia glared at Mrs. Xing, "Is this also being said in front of the girls? It's getting more and more unruly."

Mrs. Xing seldom gets good looks from Mother Jia, she also cared when she heard this, she continued to smile and said: "Master has found a good marriage for Yingchun..."

"I know the matter of welcoming the girl. I want to keep her for a few more years. Yu'er and Yun girl are just engaged, and it will take a few years to get married! With the lintel of our family, I'm afraid we can't find a girl to welcome her." Is it a marriage of the right family?" Mother Jia directly refused.She didn't want Yingchun to get married so early, and the elders and children were in order. Once Yingchun got married, Baoyu's marriage could not be postponed. Although she acquiesced that a golden and jade marriage is a matter, it didn't mean that she was good at everything.
